There have been calls for an investigation after pro-IRA chanting was heard at the publicly-funded west Belfast festival for the second year running. Irish rebel music band The Wolfe Tones played a headline gig in front of more than 10,000 people at Feile an Phobail in Falls Park on Sunday night.
Footage has emerged which appears to show some in the crowd involved in chants including "Up the Ra".
The incident has sparking anger from unionist politicians, who have called for the Wolfe Tones to be barred from future festivals.
